Street yenders Of Copstautinople

The different articles of food differ as
much as the vendors who carry them, says
Constantinople letter TO the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. The most substantial
are the ''kebobs, ;" or small pieces of nut
ton, broiled on the end of an iron rod
over themangal of live charcoal that they
carry from place to place Then with
this is the ''peloff, or rice cooked in
grease. The ''yaouten man finds ready
sale for his prepared clabber, while the
''seamit, or seeded bread man is at
every ones beck and call Sweet-meats
of all kinds are ever at hand and even the
ice cream man appears on the scene.
None Of them stop and implore your
patronage, but all go forth calling at the
top of their voices. Then here comes
the organ grinders, one with the instru-
ment on his back, while his comrade
marches behind to turn out the tunes,
and some of them are quite musical. 1t
is around one of these instruments that
the dancers congregate. 1t is mostly the
commonest workmen, with their great
heavy shoes, that take part. They form
in line, resting hands on each others
shoulders.
Then the leader has series of steps
that he performs. The others follow his
example, with less and less vigor toward
the end, until the last Que just simply
walks around They move in a circle,
and when the leader has finished his list
he suddenly ends with a whoop and a
jump and then rests on the grass while
his second takes his place, and thus It
goes on. so weird and lifeless, and yet to
a new observer so interesting.

A Hideous Beast.

1t is melancholy fact, but none the
less true, that the walrus is one of the
most disgusting looking objects known
to man. 1t has a raw. naked hide, with
out hair or fur covered with a multitude
of pustular looking warts, boils and
pimples, the skin wrinkled in deep, iabby
folds, and marked by dark venous lines,
which show clearly through the yellow
brown cuticle which seems to be peeling
off with leprosy, altogether a most I'M
wholesome-looking brute, unpleasantly
suggesting the appearance we know as
.'bloated.n
They are of tremendous size, ten feet
and half to twelve feet long, and weigh
ing fifteen to sixteen hundred pounds. In
water their motions are not nearly so
quiet or graceful as those of the seal and
sea lion, and on land they are almost
helpless, for which reason they rarely
come outside the surf-wash. They 20
about in large herds, which now and then
emerge to sleep. First one lands and lays
itself out, and then a second comes and
gives its predecessor shove, whereupon
he moves little further up; then comes
number three, who pokes up number two,
who prods number one, and so on till the
whole herd has got to land; each brute
pillowcd on the body of the one above
him, all without quarreling, but every
moment displaying apathy and phlegm.
Its most extraordinary feature is its hide,
which over the shoulders and down the
throat and chest is three inches thick,
and is nowhere less than half an inch.
1t feeds exclusively on shell-fish and
the dubious roots and tender stalks OF
certain marine plants, which grow
abundantly at the bottom of the bay.
and lagoons of the Alaskan coast, and it
is evidently for digging up these that ii
uses its tusks, and not, as is reported, for
the purpose of hauling itself upon ice oil

A Novel Wedding Trim.

Two weeks ago, writes the New York
correspondent of the Philadelphia Press.
a bicycle was seen leaning against little
stone church uptown. A tricycle. stood
by its side, and fifteen more BICYCLES
were stacked on the church green. The
owner of the vehicles were attending the
marriage OF a wheelman and wheelwoman
inside. Presently out came the bride and
groom, both in fresh club colors. and
wheeled away on their marriage trim for
200-miles spin. 1twould have looked
more sociable to the ordinary eve if they
had ridden tandem, but the time may
come in the course of their partnership
when their steeds will suit each Others
PAGES better than now The tricycle. will
be ridden this summer much more eS-
tensiyely by women than has been the
case in any year before. For one thing
the machine is an expensive foible and
1t has taken it some time TO make its
way. 1t it is heavier than the bicycle
too, and little unfair to the weaker sex
in handicapping it at the start In point of
speed. In spite of these disadvantages,
however-and they are not nearly so no
ticeable as in the numbering things that
went by the same name a half-dozen
years ago-the tricycle., and especially the
improved tandem that allows husband
and wife or lover and lass to ride topeth-
er, is gaining ground rapidly, and Mr..
and Mrs. Pencil will find many imita-
tors in their vacation trips on the wheel.
Tricyelihg Is an exercise that calls for
a special dress. Nobody who has been
through the dusty and oily experiences
of wheel life will think of disputing
that fact. The gown worn by the expe-
rienced is always of a medium-weight
wooden material, and in ninety mine cases
out of hundred is quiet and uncon-
spicuous in color English women choose
almost without exception flannel or
merino combination of ordinary walking
length, with overdress made as simple as
possible, loose trousers to match the
dress In color, black wooden stockings,
Norfolk jacket, straw hat, club ribbon,
and free and substantial walking boot.
American women, as q rule, have not vet
adopted the trousers, but wear a skirt of
slightly different cut. The dress used
by the women riders in Central Park this
spring shows a skirt without back drap-
perry. but ornamented as the wearer's
fancy chooses in front Fer length
it is like the usual promenade
dress, but has a slope of about three
inches behind to prevent lifting by the
saddle at the back. For headgear one
should choose a small lightweight cap
of the same color as the dress, or on a
long trip or parade ventilated helmet.
Kid gloves are out of order. Silk and |
linen or Isle thread are the only
things allowed on the wheel. For under
wear the same rules that govern the boat
ing dress hold flannel next the skin, no
corset or crinoline, and as few skirts as
NAV be.

Six farsakhs from Damghan is the vii
fiagos of Tazaria, noted in the country
round about for the enormous size of the
carrots grown there; the minarets of
Damghan and the extraordinary size Of
the Tazaria vegetables furnish the mate
rial for characteristic little Eastern
story, current among the inhabitants.
Finding that people came from far and
near to see the graceful minarets of
Damghan, and that nobody came to see
Tazaria, the good people of that neglected
village became envious, and they rea-
soned among themselves and said why
should Damghan have two minarets and
Tazaria nOnef" So they gathered to-
gether their packed-donkeys, their ropes
and ladders and large company of men
and reached Damghan in the silence and
darkness of the night, intending to pull
down and carry off one of the minarets
and erect it in Tazaria. The ropes were
fastened to the summit of the minar, but
at the first great pull the tbickwork
gave way and the top of the tall
minaret came tumbling down with a
crash and CHATTER, killing several of its
would-be removers. The Damghan peo-
pie turned out, and after hearing the I'M
happy LIBRARIANS laments, some sarcastic
citizen gave them a few carrot seeds,
bidding them gohome and SOW them, and
they could grow all the minarets they
wanted. The carrots grew famously,
and the villages of Tazaria, instead OF
the promised minarets, found themselves
in possession of new and useful vege-
table that fetched a good price in Dam
CHAN bazaars. The Damghanians meet
ing Tazarian ryot coming in with a
donkey load of these huge carrots can
not resist twitting him regarding the
minars; but the new practical LIBRARIANS
no longer mourn the absence of minarets
in their village, and when tWitted about
it, reply: 1--WE have more minarets than
you have, but our minarets grow down
ward and are good to eat y Outing.

difference is unusual, few pulses falling

rapid pulse is no indication whatever of
disease, as is popularity supposed 10 be

pulse, as they often count its beats when
talking about the matter, and 1t is a fact
well known to physicians that the excite

time TO arrive at the true normal is short
ly after waking in the morning, when the
nerves are unexcited.

The Future of Cremation.

The Cremationists held their yearly
meeting the other night at the mayoralty
of the eighth reimbursement. In his re
port on the progress of their work during
the past year the secretary referred in
special terms of satisfaction to the act
which the Chamber of Deputies, on
March 80, passed by a majority of 81
votes against ia to render cremation op-
tional in France, according to the will
left by person. The Holy See has pro
hibited, that is to say, mathematical,
this funeral ceremony in Italy, but its
decree will probably remain dead let
ter, as cremating is very popular in that
country, where no less than sixty cremat-
ing societies exist. Furnaces have also
been built at Geneva, Zurich, New York,
San Francisco, Buffalo, etc. In Germany
petition the Reichstag for its federation
has obtained 2S, 900 signatures.
In the Mauritius several determined
cremationists have ordered their bodies,
in the absence of ovens ad hoe, to be
burned on common pyres, the operation
lasting four hours.-LondOn Nelc5

Treasure in the Hudson.

As rule, seekers after buried treas
ure are obliged to make long voyages
over stormy seas or push their way witt
incredible hardships through uncivilized
and far distant countries. But not long
ago the surprising announcement was
made that fortunes lie concealed on the
shore of the Hudson River, near Nyack.
A rumor has gone forth to the effect
that many years ago boatload of money
was sunk in this neighborhood, and may
yet be recovered. We are inclined, how
ever, to the opinion that the locality is
by far too automatically easy of acces:
to permit the hope that there is any sub
stratum of factor coin-in the case. -

The Maid of the valley.

Miss Ellen Callahan, of Sierra County,
female stock raiser, is known as the
maid of the Valley" Her possessions
are valued at $40, 600. Her age VIC do not
know, and should not mention it if we
did. She weighs about 1870 pounds, wears
neither false teeth nor hair; she has a
good healthy complexion and blue eyes.
She would make a good match in
marriage for middle-aged man with
muscle cultivated to work, and it is
our opinion that none Others need
apply. Dudes would not, We believe, be
noticed as candidates for the matrimonial
hand of Miss Callahan. She can harness
team, break wild horses, run mower,
feed the stock, or do any kind of work
on ranch--Sierrd VaLley (Ner.O Lender
